As some of you may know, I attended the PS-Vita press launch in Dubai. Yeah, I'm rolling with the big guns now. I was going to update you with the awesomeness that I came across but I was stopped from doing that by my extremely stupid practical exams. We had to dissect flowers in Biology. Do I get an 'Oooooooooh, that's so awesome'? No, I get 'LOL, get a life science dude.' Yes, it's pretty hard to feel good when you've got shit like that going on. Nonetheless, I'm posting a new post (yes, sounds grammatically incorrect, but actually isn't.)
Now, let's explore the Vita shall we?
First off, the technical specs which are more than enough to induce orgasms in the tech loving such as myself.
Yup, you're absolutely right. I copied it from Wikipedia, well who doesn't?
Now, the human part of the specifications.
PS Vita comes in a glossy black guise and it feels just perfect in your hands. As you switch it on, you notice that the familiar XMB is gone. Wait what?
Yup, they've replaced it with a bunch of blobs that at first don't look quite appealing, but then as you delve into it, you notice that it's perfect for your tiny 600 cc brain.
The games, social media and everything else are neatly arranged in the whole place and yes, it includes multi-tasking due to the fact that it has 512 MB of RAM which was a missing feature in it's predecessor the PSP.
The games are crispy with occasional frame-rate drops which will be fixed when the developers come to grips with the SDK of the Vita. The SDK refers to Software Development Kit for the un-initiated over here.
We can play Full HD videos on the Vita without a hitch, thanks to it's quad core processor. What does that mean for you? Well, for one, no FUCKING video converters needed.
Yes, now moving on, the Social Network aspect. Yes, everyone wants to update on the go, yes? Well, Sony's got you covered. It's got both Twitter and Facebook right there in-built. The Twitter app shares striking similarity to the iPad client of Twitter. I expect apps from 3rd-Party developers to come into existence soon.
There's a rear camera and a front camera. We all know that the front camera is for video calling, but what else? Well, it tracks your ugly/handsome face while playing games which require interaction like that.
Plus, an awesome tidbit for those who game online, the PSN versions of games will be cheaper. Yup.
I'll be more detailed next time, really busy. :)
Next post will a video of me, detailing the features. :)
